Halloween Crafts

Well, we did it - and it was a success!  It is never as easy as it looks in the magazine (or in this case, on the blog), but we made 10 pumpkin jars.  The boys loved picking out and drawing the faces, Mom cut the faces out of construction paper, and I did the sticky job of mod-podging (is that a word?) the tissue paper and faces to the jars.  I was a sticky mess when it was done, but we were happy with the end result.

Deciding on the faces:

Carter giving his input:

We made 10 total, 1 was already given away as a gift by the time we took this photo (the boys wanted to give one to Sondra and Loren!):

I'd love to know...what do you think of the pumpkin jars??
